sariebell says:: Someday, if I get a tattoo or 3, I'll come to Wilmington and we'll do it. I'm kinda a wimp, though.

Thanks for doing this! You are a whisker-hero. Hope all is well with junior and the missus. Take care.

sariebell says:: Tentative NC plans: We'll go to Winston Salem (where his parents live) late night on March 18th. Maybe do drinks with Shular in Gboro on the 19th. Travel to Oriental (where my parents live) on the 20th. Stay there a few days. We talked of escaping my parents for a night at the beach. I'm leaning on him to bring me all the way to Wilmington instead of just Atlantic Beach, but we'll see.... I've always wanted to go there and I'd love to see you and meet the fam. Then, back home again probably on the 24th or 25th. It'll probably change a hundred times before it's final, but I want to fit some whisker dudes in amongst all the family time.

We'll keep in touch. fb maybe.

tedford says:: it definitely wouldn't have been the same without you this go round. i think we'll likely be in Wilmington at some point in the near future and that visit will most assuredly include some time in your chair (for both me and the missus). we'll be in touch. take care of yourself and that beautiful family.

Poe says:: Luke, tour one of the nicest most talented guys I have met around here. You brought whiskerino to a new level with the shed in 2005 and then killed it in 2007. This year you got a baby and that is way cooler than anything.

Also, if I ever get a tat - your the guy I'll talk to.

yourfavorite says:: Don't scratch too hard man! If you pull out too many hairs on the back of your head your face will have too much beard weight and you will probably fall over. Keep the balance!

But seriously, its been a blast and I've really enjoyed following you these past 4 months. You have some truly amazing photography skills and i hope to see you in May.

mOtke says:: I want to leave a wacky story on your page, but instead I'll say this:

My life is better because I know you. The best thing about this is that our friendship has merely begun. I look forward to more tattoos, more meet ups, more beer, more bowling, more spending time with your lovely wife, more life.

I look forward to continually seeing amazing things from you. You're doing it right. Thanks for being an inspiration and part bear.

Oh yeah. Speaking of bears, if that whiskerbear of yours says anything, anything at ALL, don't listen. He seriously has no idea what he's talking about. I know. He talked to me once.

JamesC says:: Just get your ass to Boise and I'll take care of the rest. I'm sad we didn't get to meet, and too bad your photos really sucked this year compared to 2005 (remember that crazy shit?).
Much love to you and your family. One day we'll hang out and drink a beer, I promise.
